Given that grey wolves and coyotes only spit around 50000 years ago, and according to some studies, North American grey wolves are more related to coyotes than they are to Eurasian grey wolves, should the coyote just be considered a subspecies of grey wolf? 2001:1970:4885:CC00:0:0:0:F1E0 (talk) 01:39, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Should there be a subcategory for the coyote's relationship with the American badger given the frequent relationship between the two animals when hunting prey? Traptor12 (talk) 23:39, 22 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Coyote is spelled the same in English and Spanish. It is derived from Nahuatl (Aztec). My question is why is the first syllable in English pronounced "Ki" and not "Co" as in the Spanish. Is "Co" frequently pronounced "Ki" in English? -- GreenC04:08, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I removed this sentence (which does not have a citation):
The earliest written reference to the species comes from the naturalistFrancisco Hernández'sPlantas y Animales de la Nueva España (1651), where it is described as a "Spanish fox" or "jackal".
